I've been saying it for months, but "soon" my red car will be taken in by the shop, where some rust will go away, the paint will mysteriously become BRG, and other similarly expensive stuff will happ

Well, I guess I'm insane as well. Buying a real chrome B would be the way to go, but then again I *know* what the condition of the one I own is. No having to fix DPO bodges. I'm almost finished with

First, let me say that I do not think you are insane. I've been considering converting to chrome bumpers since I got my '78 MGB four years ago. There is a UK web-site with good descriptions and pict

Aaron - The law here (WA) is that front plates are only required on cars produced in years when front plates were required. For a while in the 70s, they were not required. They didn't even give you t

I just went to a rubber bumper conversion seminar at MG2004 here in NJ. Seems like a much easier project now that it's been explained to me "in-person". Moss now makes a conversion kit for the MGB,

When I was working for Sports Car Craftsmen in Denver they did a conversion so that they would know how to do it for customers. I think that the first one was 40 hours of work, but they were planning

Donny, did they cover just the bumper transformation, or the lowering part as Dan The Garden State '76 MGB Tourer - Driver - It's getting better all the time.... '65 MGB Tourer Project - Yep, still i

It was a really detailed explanation of the conversion, with only a little side discussion of lowering. The best advice might have been to NOT worry too much about the lowering process. You can put

Well, with that kind of advice, I ordered springs from Moss yesterday. The leaf springs have sagged so much over the car's 29 years, to the point I am not sure I would need to "lower" anything back t

Looks like a pretty nice conversion. For a step in between, I've been considering a fiberglass bumper from these guys. If and when I ever get to the finish body work/painting stage. http://www.morspe

Personally, this is the route I would go. I don't mind the rubber bumpers. I think I would look at replacing them with these, and even painting them black to look original! You'de shave some signific
